CHICAGO, Ill, Nov. IG Bulge in wheat was
the leading feature on Change to-day. The
hrmness OF corn and provisions was scar cely
scored IN wheat, mainly the result increase OF
foreign emand. The pit was filed the entire
session by an interested ard excited crowd.
The movement was upward and appears to be
advancing en- its merits Liverpool cables early
were favorable, and after there WIS general
advance Of "a &c, and December stezdled for
an hour az "A sc aud May at S03{c. Then c3me
other AID stronger caCles, together
with the report that boat loads taken for ex-
other bulge of 5ac, which sent December to
751s6I57zc and May to 81 i5GSILc, an advance
ofi.rom s. a &c over outside prices Tuesday. The
movement OF wheat on this side was not unf8-
vorable. Receipts at leading primary points
were e3I GOO bushels New York export clear
ances were 2l1O0O bushels, better than for
many days. Total receipts here were l57 cars,
of which IA cars were spring and bus
102 cars of graded No. 2. There was less talk of
IN Injured wi ter whea crops than yesterday, but
an active speculative feeling was the result of
the foreign demand. The frmDess In wheat
was held to the close of the eSeuing session,
which was ct the highest point of the day. 755sc
for December and 1880 for January One fea-
ture of peculiar strength OF the market is that
quite number of the houses which sold for 3
reaction were forced to cover at higher figures,
which gave an Impetus 20 an upward
move. Corn was good secOnH to wheat, both
for activity and for ADVANCE I'M price; local re-
| Csipt5 were 454 care, about forty cars better
| than expected, but still light; babies were en-
Couragirg; many operators who sold for re-
| action were forced to cover at higher iguEesi
country continued TO buy; The Leading feature,
| as IN wheat, was the foreign advance and chip
ping demand; specula i've feeling was
| vigorous aud the volume of trad
! ing was liberal; the advance was l7Sc
| for January and 13I@l15 for other futures; the
final price for January was 1870 and May 493<c-
| Provision traders were not slow IN following
| the lead of grain, but business was on large
| scale with wider Vaccinations on all articles.
| The receipts of hogs were large, but packers
| were in and bid prices up. the Indications be-
| ing they wanted to get prices up to eel their
| product at better prices. Outside orders came
/ IN freely, and buying caused prices OF pork to
| advance to 471&c, lard Ike, and short
